Informal parent-teacher conferences take place as necessary during the school year.  Parents and teachers are encouraged to email or phone to request conferences throughout the year regarding student academic progress and behavior.  Teachers will respond to all contacts, letters, calls from parents within 24 hours.  

The scheduled formal annual conferences are held during the first and second trimesters. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be scheduled using www.PTCfast.com.  Parents are expected to sign up for a convenient time to discuss student progress.  The link will be sent out via email prior to the scheduled dates.

Parents ​must not approach teachers or administration for impromptu conferences when teachers are on supervision duty, at recess, or during carpools.  They are responsible for monitoring the safe arrival, departure, and behavior of students at these times, so it is dangerous to distract them from these duties and teachers may refuse to conference at this time. Parents should call or send a note to set a mutually convenient time to conference when teachers can dedicate the appropriate time and focus to any concerns and problems.  Informal talks may only generate unreliable “all is well" responses, particularly in public when other parents and children may be present and teachers may not be talk freely about a child to the parent.
